eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1878 Congrats on your acceptances to both CBS and IESE. Do you have a geographic preference for where you want to work post MBA? For example, if you want to work in the US, then CBS would have an edge. If you want to work in Europe then IESE would be a solid option. (1)

anon74765 Likes Earned: 14 Sure, in the short-term I want some experience in a top tier company. It might be in Tech (Google, Apple), Retail (Nike or Adidas) or Sports. In the long term I would like to start my own business. I prefer Europe, but I guess that studying in CBS would be a door opener anywhere, with the M7 "seal of approval". That's why I'm hesitating.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1640 Preferring Europe, and perhaps benefiting from an internship to aid in the career transition, IESE May well remain very compelling. I assume you’ve already done your research to see they will help you with your short-term goal. In the long run, are you planning to return to Argentina? How do the alumni networks compare? (0)

anon74765 Likes Earned: 14 For my short term IESE would be better as i prefer transition in Europe, so internship and being already there is much better. In the long run, CBS may have a greater and bigger network in Argentina and all round the world, and the prestigious of an M7 is undeniable. I really can't decide. (0)
